Moderation That tears it. You guys want to act like children? Then I'm treating you like children. I'm locking the thread up for a little bit so everybody can calm down and stop trying to get into each other's throats. I'll unlock this later.

You've been under a rock, huh? In the past three years, dude and his website's been outed for general incompetence, mismanagement, poor treatment of its content creators, and even hiding a sexual predator under the rug. Even outside of that, his videos have been getting dunked on more and more lately for having either bad criticism or just being cheap and ugly with bad CGI or just the atrocities that are his clipless reviews (the reactions towards his review on Pink Floyd's The Wall is priceless)

Oh there will be a meltdown. I know this forum inside and out and I know there will be meltdowns even in the 30-40 range. It's already happening now. This is already the big whooping boy for the forum as is, with people having their knives prepared for the slightest underperformance. You already have people fretting over the future of DC over this film's potential underperformance and how Warner/DC dropped the ball ever since BvS. You have the weirdo Snyder stans already set to do their usual schtick as they plead Zack to come back and complain about how DC will fall apart if he isn't involved. You have the Warner stans who are already ultradefensive. "It's a pandemic! It's on HBO Max! You can't say anything bad about this movie whatsoever! You're just hypocritical! You're out to get this movie!" This stuff, both in the tracking thread and elsewhere on the forums, is truly obnoxious, immature stuff. It will only accelerate in the weekend thread, like it does with every one of these kinds of movies. But hey, that just means I have to work overtime when it comes to this kind of nonsense.

The tea is that Free Guy is surprisingly good and better than the trailers indicate. I know early critic reviews are always glowing, but the review embargo drops a week before release, so this seems like the real dea

Aw jeez.

Either way, I think I should also clarify that the concept of a forum whooping boy is garbage, especially in pandemic times when all movies are suffering and will continue to suffer even into 2022 and that this forum would be a lot better if people didn’t dogpile on movies as hard as they do.

Because TSS is the forum’s new whipping boy for some reason. People will try and twist anything to put down whatever they decide to hate in these instances. Not sure why this is the one getting targeted tho

It's not free in France, which is what Menor is talking about. They don't have HBO Max there. Don't think they even have it on PVOD

I honestly didn't realize and am kind of surprised Hanks wasn't in a Wes Anderson movie until now

Thought I already had this up, but I guess not. Please talk about more spoilerific stuff about this movie here

Wow look at this idiot over here.

A better way to determine interest and engagement for a movie trailer is likes rather than views. Because movie trailers often play as ads, that inflates viewership and makes it hard to determine if there was an organic interest to check the film out or not. Likes also aren't a perfect indicator, but you still have to manually click on something. And between the two House of Gucci has hit 17K likes, while Flag Day has...634 likes. And for a more active comparison, Respect is at 31K likes with its mid-May trailer, while The Last Duel is at 26K within the span of 10 days. Gucci trailer's only been up for 13 hours, so that seems solid enough.

I know. These kinds of Marvel posters suck.
